Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hooksett, New Hampshire was feeling that her home wasn't safe anymore. She had some horizontal cracks in her basement that are worrying her. She decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. 

A Design Specialist arrived at the home and inspected the cracks in her basement. He discovered that the wall was bowing inward just slightly. The Design Specialist recommended PowerBrace to be installed on the wall with the horizontal cracks to counteract the slight bow in the wall. 

The EFS crew installed 3 PowerBraces on the wall with the horizontal cracks. 

In the before photo, notice the rusting lally columns in the basement/garage of a Bedford, NH home, creating a need for additional support. This homeowner called Erickson Foundation Solutions for our stabilized support system. We installed the SmartJack® System to solve this issue effectively. As shown in the after photo, our galvanized steel SmartJacks replaced the failing columns and offered firm floor support. Providing stability and confidence to our customers, this system effectively redistributes home weight, ensuring structural reliability for years to come.

This homeowner in Hooksett, New Hampshire has become worried about the structural integrity of the second-floor sunroom/deck. They called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended installing Helical Piers and EZ Posts to replace the old supports. 

This home built in the 1920's was dealing with sagging beams and floor joists, which ultimately led to cracking plaster in the home above. The old columns and posts in the basement were replaced with SmartJacks, which were then raised to stabilize the floor system above.

A homeowner in Maynard, Massachusetts experienced sloping floors in their home. Concerned with the long-term stability of the floors, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our System Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement to stabilize the floor and support the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete in the foundation floor to allow space for the galvanized steel plates to be installed. The posts were then attached to the steel plates and set up along the support beam. The SmartJack's design allows for superior support compared to Lally columns, especially the temporary ones that were previously installed in the basement. Once installed, the SmartJacks were cemented in place.

The SmartJacks were raised to eliminate sloping floors. The homeowner now has peace of mind that their floors are stable, and their home is supported.
